Prague Clementinum wedding / Jess & James wedding photography

Jess & James who traveled over from New Zealand really had the ultimate dream wedding in Prague. Choosing the Alchymist as their hotel truly lends itself to a wonderful and stylish backdrop –especially for portraits. Their choice of wedding venue was the 11th century Clementinum (Klementinum in Czech) which houses the incredible Baroque Mirror Chapel where they exchanged their vows in front of family & close friends.

Afterwards we enjoyed a walk through the center of Prague to capture the newlyweds enjoying the sites of this incredibly picturesque city. With the usual stops and also a few places away from the tourists - the two of them had a wonderful time exploring the gardens and cobblestone streets.

We headed back to the Alchymist for a quick outfit change for the evening celebrations where family & friends were already sampling the local Czech beer. Even though the weather was raining Jess & James always envisioned having a quick session atop the cobblestones of the Charles Bridge at night and who can argue with that. So as the lightning flared across the evening sky and a patter of rain accompanied us we headed out for a truly romantic set of portraits first at Prague Castle and then atop the Charles Bridge.

The one thing I will always remember about Jess & James were how truly fantastic they complement each other. Vibrant, fun, charming and warm are just a few thoughts that come to mind. Oh, as one of my photography friends commented –‘absolutely gorgeous!’

To Jess & James, you guys rock! Being a small part of your wedding day was tremendous. You two deserve the very best in life. I am quite pleased to hear that you were blown away by these images created on your wedding day. As a photographer I must confess that having people like you make this simply the best job in the world.

I wish both of you much happiness, success and love in your new lives together as husband and wife.
